John werich

WRITER & PHO­TOG RAP HER John Werich grew up in the Swedish prov­ince of Västergöt­land in south­west Swe­den, but moved to Florence in 2006 to pur­sue a ca­reer as a writer, pho­tog­ra­pher, olive oil pro­ducer and, as of lately, a fur­ni­ture de­signer. With a keen in­ter­est in fash­ion and de­sign, his work has been pub­lished in both Plaza Mag­a­zine and Plaza Uomo. For this is­sue he met with Si­mone Righi, a renowned fig­ure in Florence’s menswear in­dus­try. “It was a plea­sure work­ing with Si­mone, but he kept in­sist­ing that his sun­glasses and cigar fea­tured in ev­ery photo.”
